Franklin uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors between sessions.

Meditation and mindfulness tools are part of his approach when clients want help managing strong emotions or increasing focus. He also uses solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals and track small wins over time. Sessions emphasize practical skills that can be used during a busy week.

Franklin has three years of professional experience and holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials. He practices in Kansas and conducts sessions in English. He aims to make the process understandable and approachable for people taking this step for the first time.

People often seek him out for concerns such as commitment issues, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, loneliness, and midlife questions. He supports work on forgiveness, self-acceptance, sexual concerns, and navigating separation or divorce. He invites clients to set the pace and to focus on the changes they want to see.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s priorities and offering nonjudgmental listening. In an online setting this means sessions are shaped around the goals the client names and the pace they prefer.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and try new behaviors. Online sessions can include brief homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior plans to practice between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and breathing practices that help with stress and managing intense feelings. These practices can be guided during a session and repeated on one’s own during the week.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to test methods, adjust techniques, and focus on what feels helpful based on the client’s needs and preferences.

Session logistics are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions save travel time, fit into a workday break, or make it easier to practice skills between meetings. Others appreciate scheduling flexibility and the ability to keep consistent appointments while juggling life demands.
